Purchase & send item to someone else as a gift
How do you make a purchase and send it to someone else as a gift? Should I contact seller first? Is there a place in "account" to add a different shipping address?

·4 days agoDefinitely change the ship to address in checkout. Do not check out with the wrong address, Ebay policy requires the seller to ship to the address in the order. Should they ship to another address, they invalidate their protections if the transaction goes wrong, and most sellers will not make a change.

·4 days agoDon't just rely on the seller seeing the message when you make the payment, do that in messages before you buy and again when you pay in messages to seller box as a reminder. Not all sellers include an invoice. Personally, I would not be bothered by receiving a gift with a receipt seeing how it wouldn't even be gift wrapped.

·4 days ago · Editedas stated, before checking out change the ship to address. But also contact the seller to ask about not including an invoice/packing list with cost if it is a gift. However, do know they may or may not see the note or comply anyway. I would contact the seller via messaging, not rely on a "note" you hope the seller sees when going to print the label

·4 days ago@suziemei Yes, you simply put in the Address you want it Shipped to before you checkout. It is NOT only limited to your Address, you can Change where it goes. If you want anything further than that referencing a "Gift" in the packaging you would have to discuss that with the Seller...but changing the Ship To Address is fairly easy at Checkout.

·1 week agoDefinitely contact seller first. Most won't/can't do it due to eBay policies

·4 days agoThere are no policies about receipts, that is up to the individual seller. The only time a receipt might be needed is international shipping.
